Could you please help me to correct these assessment answer?!!! I do appreciate!!!
1. How can educators support children to take responsibility for their
a) Own health and wellbeing: By supervising children adequately, ensuring the safety of equipment and the environment, good hygiene and safe sleep procedures, managing illness and injuries effectively and meeting children’s nutritional needs
b) Own actions and behaviours: As a educator, I will use what I know about supporting children’s learning in general to help children develop skills to guide their own behavior. As children develop they gain skills and abilities that can help them to guide their own behavior such as the ability to communicate what they want and express their feelings in words or improved memory
2. What are 3 opportunities you could use to engage in one-on-one interactions with children?
a. Group games such as parachute games, ball games (kicking, rolling, and bowling), tunnel ball, bean bag toss, red light green light etc.
b. Read stories based on interests
c. Build upon language skills by playing language game such as rhyming, sounding out letters etc.
3. How can you help a child who is have difficulty understanding and communicating with others?
Use a communication boards to help children who have difficulty understanding and communicating to help them to express their needs and take an active role in decision making. Also, use a choice board that depicts several activities to help children to choose what they would like to do by pointing to the corresponding picture or symbol
4. Give an example of positive language children can use to:
a. express ideas: You are not afraid of a challenge. I like that
b. negotiate roles: Can I have a pink pony please?
c. work with others to achieve goals: Excuse me, is it my turn now? You’ve finished your book already
5. How can educators ensure children build trusting relationships with them?
When children begin demonstrate trust and confidence and also begin to initiate negotiating and sharing behaviour. Engage in enjoyable interactions using verbal and non-verbal language. Attend and give cultural cues that they are listening to and understanding what is said to them
6. Why are the early years of development important for future success?
The early years play a key role in children’s brain development. Babies begin to learn about the world around them from a very early age including during the prenatal and postnatal period. Children’s early experiences the bonds they form with their parents and their first learning experiences deeply affect their future physical, cognitive, emotional and social development. Optimizing the early years of children’s lives is the best investment we can make as a society in ensuring their future success.
7. Complete the table, listing an experience which can assist the growth of each of Gardner's multiple intelligences
Multiple Intelligences______: Experiences
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Linguistic_________________: Speech and writing
Logical-mathematical______: Reasoning and logical thinking; recognizing and using mathematical symbols and patterns, etc.
Musical___________________: Appreciating rhythmic beats, melodies, pitches, tones, etc.
Bodily-kinaesthetic________: The connection between the brain and physical movement; the way we control our bodies, e.g. we think how hard to strike a ball
Spatial___________________: Recognizing the amount of space between objects in the environment
Interpersonal_____________: Understanding other people’s intentions and ability to work with other people
Intrapersonal_____________: Ability to understand oneself; how we feel, the things we fear and what motivates us
8. Australia is made up of many cultures, with many children learning more than one language as they grow. How can educators value and promote the use of home languages in a service?
A child’s culture may mean that they speak a different language at home. Supporting this home language and the child’s linguistic heritage will result in the child being more confident and positive about communicating while they are at the service. Children ‘have the right to be continuing users of their home language as well as to develop competency in Standard Australian English’ (EYLF and FSAC p.38). Providing a literacy-rich environment containing books and other resources written in both the children’s home languages and cultures and in Standards Australian English
9. Why is it important to share developmental information about children with other educators? Link your answer to the ECA's Code of Ethics
The ECA Code of Ethics advocates that, in relation to colleagues, we will collaborate ‘to generate a culture of continual reflection and renewal of high quality practices in early childhood’. Sharing appropriate information in a confidential manner will support this principle
10. What does the United Nation's Convention on the Rights of the Child say about "play"?
Article 31 of the United Nations Convention on the Rights of the Child states that ‘Children have the right to relax and play, and to join in a wide range of cultural, artistic and other recreational activities’
11. Explain 3 strategies to include intentionally teaching and spontaneous learning throughout routines
• Spontaneous teaching moments; extending children’s learning and understandings through conversations, often involving questions and the introduction of new or different ideas.
• Planned learning experiences; which have an intended purpose, such as: building on interests, developing fine motor skills, developing social or emotional abilities.
• Use of resources or materials; to extend on a particular skill, idea or interest. For example, picture story books, factual books, craft materials, space and so on.
